Traditional Israeli food part of joint temple teen event

TOBAY DUNE STABILIZATION

BY GARY SIMEONE

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (third from right), Town Councilman Joseph D. Muscarella (second from left), Town Councilman Louis B. Imbroto (center), and Town Councilman Thomas P. Hand (right) recently joined with Nassau County District Court Judge Colin F. O’Donnell (second from right) , Massapequa Park Village Mayor Jeffrey P. Pravato (left), and hundreds of caring volunteers at the TOBAY Beach Dune Stabilization Project. Since 1989, the Dune Stabilization Project has been an initiative to help protect TOBAY Beach.

It was a night of cooking and dining on traditional Israeli food at the Temple Beth Torah in Westbury last Wednesday. The event was part of the Jewish Teen Initiative, which serves to enhance Hebrew high school programs through hands-on interactive activities and projects. Five local synagogues were involved in the event including Temple Beth Torah, the Jericho Jewish Center, Plainview Jewish Center, Woodbury Jewish Center, and the Old Westbury Hebrew Congregation. Hali Herman, coordinator of the Teen Initiative, said that the goal of these type of events is to have teenagers participate in projects, which are meaningful to the overall Jewish way of life. “It’s really about getting the kids involved and participating in these interactive activities and doing good deeds in the community,” said Herman. The main focus of the night was cooking traditional Israeli fare, such as pita bread, hummus, and a dish called Shakshuka,

which is a combination of poached eggs, tomatoes, and peppers. Ariel Magal, Director of the Israeli Center at the Sid Jacobson JCC, said that having the kids engaged in the cooking process helps them focus on the task at hand. “Everybody cooks the meal together, and we talk about the food while we are cooking it,” said Magal. “It brings everybody closer together and we are kind of like one body in the kitchen.” The teens were also taught a bit of Israeli history at the event. Members of Unit 669, an Israeli search and rescue team, gave a video presentation of the country’s medical unit operations and how they go about saving people’s lives. The JLife event was part of four main programs that take place throughout the year. Last month, teens helped build terrariums for senior citizen centers at an event at the Jericho Jewish Center. They also participated in a pay it forward program through LI Connections, to provide snack See page 22

Syosset man sentenced for throwing cinder blocks off overpass Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas announced that a Syosset man has been sentenced to five years in prison for throwing cinderblocks and paving bricks onto the Meadowbrook Parkway, striking a car and causing permanent injury to woman who was a passenger in a vehicle in December 2015. Jacob Palant, 21, of Syosset was convicted by a jury on May 17, 2017 of: • Assault in the 1st Degree (a B violent felony) Two • counts of Reckless Endangerment in the 1st Degree (a D felony) • Assault in the 2nd Degree (a D vio-

lent felony) • Three counts of Criminal mischief in the 4th Degree (an A misdemeanor) The trial before Acting Supreme Court Justice Meryl Berkowitz started May 1, 2017, and the jury deliberated for approximately a day and a half. His co-defendant, Andrew Denton, was sentenced on August 21, 2017, to 10 years in prison. “Jacob Palant and Andrew Denton endangered lives by throwing paving stones and cinderblocks at passing vehicles from a highway overpass,” DA Singas said. “People could have been killed

from this depraved behavior and it is a miracle that only one young woman suffered permanent injuries due to their actions. These crimes will not be tolerated in Nassau County” DA Singas said on two occasions on December 26, 2015, the defendants threw paving bricks and cinderblocks at cars from a Meadowbrook Parkway

Jacob Palant

overpass bridge in Uniondale. The overpass has high fences curved inward at the top to prevent this kind of criminal behavior but the defendants used extraordinary efforts to thwart these protections. During the first incident in the afternoon, the defendants did not hit any of the vehicles they targeted. However, during the second incident, at approximately 8:00PM, the defenSee page 22

Former Vietnam vet has pier named in his honor

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino (front row third from right), Councilwoman Michele M. Johnson (back row left), Councilman Louis B. Imbroto (back row third from left), and Councilman Thomas P. Hand (back row second from left) dedicated a pier at the Western Waterfront in Oyster Bay in celebration of the life and legacy of highly-decorated Vietnam War hero James A. Harrington Jr. BY GARY SIMEONE It was a special day this past Saturday as Town officials and dozens of local veterans gathered at the western waterfront pier in Oyster Bay for a celebration of the life and service of a former Vietnam vet. James Harrington, a highly decorated war hero, was posthumously honored with a dedication of a pier in his name. The pier will now be known as the Sgt James A. Harrington Jr. Memorial Pier. Harrington was a 23 year Locust Valley resident, who was killed in action while serving in Vietnam in 1968. The highly decorated veteran had received a number of honors including the Bronze Star with Oak Cluster, the Medal of Valor, Purple Heart, National Defense Medal, and a Conspicuous Service Medal from the State of New York. Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, was on hand for the ceremony along with Town Councilmen Lou Imbroto

and Thomas Hand. Councilwoman Michele Johnson was also in attendance at the ceremony. “James Harrington Jr was an extraordinary resident and patriot, who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country,” said Saladino. “The Oyster Bay Town Board is proud to dedicate the Western Waterfront Pier in his memory.” Harrington Jr was a local bayman who was called to service to fight for his country. He did so with honor and without hesitation. “As a local bayman, James loved the sea and I can think of no better way to honor his life and service by naming this prominent pier upon waters he once patrolled as a bayman in his honor,” said Saladino. James Harrington Jr had two sons, Richard and Robert Harrington, who were on hand for the dedication ceremony.

Wanlin was recently praised by the College Board for her superior score on last May’s AP Computer Science A Exam. She not only received a top score of 5, but also was one of only 112 students in the world to earn every point possible, receiving the maximum score on every portion of the exam. More than 60,519 students around the world took the AP Computer Science A Exam last year. If this weren’t enough to be proud of, once again Wanlin will represent the United States at the European Girl’s Mathematical Olympiad this April in Italy. Last year, she also represented the U.S. on a four-member European

Girl’s Mathematical Olympiad team in Switzerland. Along with taking top honors last year, Wanlin and her three teammates were each awarded a gold medal for their individual performances on this challenging mathematics exam. As a sophomore Wanlin tied for the fourth-highest score in the country, qualifying her for the United States of America Junior Mathematical Olympiad exam. She was one of just 50 students nationwide invited to the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program. She is also a past runner-up at the New York State Mathematics League competition. Along with computer programming, Wanlin said she enjoys the thinking required in math and the ability to solve different problems.

BY RIKKI N. MASSAND On Monday, April 9th at 5PM, the Scout and Molly’s boutique at 7959 Jericho Turnpike, located in the chic Woodbury Village shopping plaza, will hold its one year celebration with a ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony set to draw members of the Oyster Bay Town Board, hosted by the Syosset-Woodbury Chamber of Commerce. Florence Wong-Leipzig is the owner and first-time entrepreneur behind the Woodbury Scout and Molly’s. When she became interested in starting her own business, Wong-Leipzig wanted to ensure her brand was going to meet her passions. In an interview on March 20, Wong-Leipzig said “I looked into franchises and searched for one that spoke to me and that has great values, something that resonated with me, plus a good story of where it started from. Scout and Molly’s appeals to me on many levels as the most unique women’s retail franchise in the market.” The founder of the Scout and Molly’s retail chain is Lisa Kornstein Kaufman, who opened her first boutique in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2002, as a 20-something who wanted to follow her dreams and passions for sales, with a community-oriented mindset. Scout and Molly are the names of her two labrador retrievers, and like the founder,

Florence also is the pet parent of two dogs. She says the brand is built on the tagline of “an experience like shopping in your best friend’s closet,” setting it aside as a boutique where women feel welcomed, not judged, and they’d always have a friend. She decided to locate the very first Scout and Molly’s on Long Island and also in New York State in the chic Woodbury Village shopping plaza, with anchor tenants Starbucks, Chase bank, Ben’s Kosher Deli, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s realtors and Sage Bistro Moderne. Wong-Leipzig is a Hofstra University alumnus who has many friends living in the Syosset area, and she previously worked at Cablevision from 2001 through 2014 and frequented Butera’s Italian restaurant, on the South Woods Road side of the same shopping plaza, for workday lunches. “There shopping strip is so inviting. I’s a natural fit for this boutique in Woodbury Village because there’s other boutiques, and I considered it a nice blend to add ours. Each boutique offers a different and unique brand and clothing, targeting different populations and customers. There is such a variety of shopping here from shoes to Red Door Spa, or jewelry and baby clothes. It is a synergistic shopping area as the stores and businesses parlay into each other’s strengths. We offer something totally

different with a different price point from every other boutique,” Florence explained. She praises the landlord of Woodbury Village for ensuring each shop’s niche is placed well and there is no ’overstepping’ between boutiques and retailers. “A lot of customers come from neighboring towns and it works out for them to visit us. The first year of business has seen highs and lows. Retail in general has suffered from big stores to small, but I have seen and met with many great local people who visited and understand what this boutique is trying to do. Our customers come in and enjoy the environment and experience, and we are building with repeat customers -- they will come in for a glass of wine, talk with us and help build our network. Some ‘snowbirds’ even come back from Florida, and they tell us in advance they’re planning to drop in, say hello and shop,” Florence tells the Advance and News-Journal. In November 2017, Scout and Molly’s franchise was reported to have “more than 35 stores in 19 states across the U.S.” and another 35 stores scheduled to open by September 2018. The boutique has tristate area location in Westport, Connecticut, the home setting of the ABC television series American Housewife. The next closest location to Woodbury, Long Island would be hours away

at the English Village in North Wales, Pa. and three other suburban Philadelphia locations. Aside from being an entrepreneur, Wong-Leipzig works for JP Morgan Chase & Co. in Manhattan as vice president for human resources service delivery. At Hofstra, she earned a bachelor’s in business administration specializing in International Business with an Economics minor. She is also a licensed massage therapist, and says her career skill set ranging from handling budgets and finance to customer service and project management have all provided great preparation for running Scout and Molly’s. “I have operations experience running teams, finances, and budgets. In looking at my career which has gone well, I wanted to see how I could expand it and use my abilities in different areas. I can use managerial skills from managing teams and finances from a large company scale this created a good fit for a niche I was passionate about. In human resources it is about being empathetic and seeing the human side of a person, how to relate and connect with individuals. Also knowing that I owned it and I did not have to answer to corporate America, getting to be my own boss, was appealing,” she said. See page 22

Plainview-JFK staff star in snow day video BY GARY SIMEONE It was an interesting way to inform students that there would be no school last Wednesday, as faculty members in the Plainview Old Bethpage school district, put together a unique snow day video. Plainview-JFK Principal James Murray and three district assistant principals danced and sang their way through the short video segment, lamenting the fact that their would be no school due to inclement weather. “We uploaded the video the day before the snowstorm, with the help of our new media production teacher, Steven Carbo,” said Murray. “Creating these videos was something we had planned out awhile ago, and this was a perfect opportunity to get it off the ground.” He added that the reason behind the videos was to put a unique spin on informing students that they had a snow day, and also to encourage them to get involved in media and programming courses. It was actually a group of PlainviewOld Bethpage students who introduced the idea of putting together a script and video segment.

One student in particular, Julia Sprung, a junior at Plainview-Old Bethpage, showed the most enthusiasm in creating the script and presenting it to school staff. “She presented this script to me that she thought the kids would like but also be relatable to everyone else,” said Murray. “The theme was kind of a combination of the movies Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Breakfast Club.” The video was created earlier this month and the volunteers spent two consecutive days, acting out the scenes. Along with Principal Murray, the other actors included Assistant Principals Vanessa Barbone, Phillip Farrelly, and Eric Haruthunian. In the video, the principal walks forlornly throughout the hallways of his school, looking glum to be without his students and staff. But to his surprise, three of the assistant principals show up and dance with him in the school’s library in a scene reminiscent of the The Breakfast Club. Asked if there are plans for a part 2 video in the works, Principal Murray said not at this time but if an April snowstorm were to happen, “you never know.”

Town offers free boating safety seminar After completing two highly successful Boating Safety Seminars, the Town of Oyster Bay plans to offer a third Boating Safety Seminar on Saturday, May 19th from 8AM to 4PM at the Oyster Bay Community Center, located at 45 Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay. The seminar is moderated by the Department of Public Safety Bay Constable Unit, and will include topics related to safe operation, regulations, responsibilities of boat ownership and operation. The seminar is free for Town residents. Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “This Boating Safety Seminar offers participants the fundamentals of safe boating operations. The course is recommended for all boaters and required by New York State for all personal watercraft operators.” Too many people take their boats out onto the water without proper preparation,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The

boating safety tips offered at this course can help save lives by ensuring boaters are properly prepared before they leave the dock.” “History has shown us that too many people take their boats out onto the waters without proper preparation and training to,” said Town Councilwoman Michele Johnson. “The tips offered at this Boating Safety Seminar can help save lives by ensuring boaters are properly prepared before they leave the dock.” Participants must be a minimum of 10 years old to participate in the seminar. Classes are free, but advanced registration is required. Safe Boating Courses are required for motor boat operators born on or before May 1, 1996. The course is also required for personal watercraft (Jet Ski) operators, who must be a minimum of 14 years of age.

Shhhh…. BH alumni are secret readers at Berry Hill BY GINA JAMES

Every year, secret readers visit Berry Hill during PARP week. PARP is a National PTA program and stands for Pick A Reading Partner. The PARP program is designed to promote a love of reading in children. For the first time in PARP history, Berry Hill alumni surprised both stu-

dents and teachers and read a book to each class. The BH Class of 2011 are currently seniors at Syosset High School. The alumni were welcomed as their 2011 yearbook photos were on display in the entrance of the building. It was a special day for the alumni to reunite with their former teachers and give back to the school by reading to our current students.

Classes were happy to have the alumni read them a book.

Philadelphia’s New Museum Immerses You into Drama of America’s Revolutionary War BY KAREN RUBIN TRAVEL FEATURES SYNDICATE GOINGPLACESFARANDNEAR.COM I used the opening of the brand new Museum of the American Revolution as the theme for my threeday visit to Philadelphia – a deep dive probe of the Revolutionary War era, a renewed examination of the founding of the nation through, as it were, original documents, materials and artifacts at a time when we need to be reminded of why our nation has stood as a beacon but its ongoing march to the founding ideals. During this all-toobrief time, I also visited the National Museum of American Jewish History (see 3/23), the Benjamin Franklin Museum, Betsy Ross House and the National Constitution Center. It’s 1770s Colonial America. Anger, resentment against the British Crown is brewing; an independent spirit is growing and spreading among the colonies. Would you have joined the American Revolution and taken arms along with other farmers, shopkeepers and merchants against the most powerful nation that history had ever known with not much more than a musket? The newly opened Museum of the American Revolution, located in the heart of Philadelphia’s most historic district, plunges visitors into the tumult and transformation of the Revolutionary era when colonials took upon themselves a new identity: Americans. You are challenged to choose sides and it isn’t a simple matter. This was very much a civil war, with families, neighborhoods, villages and towns split in terms of which side they would support: Patriots or Loyalists. But it was a revolution in ways beyond taking arms against ruling institutions: it was every bit a revolution in ideas, in ideals, in the notion of self-governance and civil rights, a revolution the Museum would like

Philadelphia’s New Museum Immerses You into Drama of America’s Revolutionary War

Continued from page D1 digital installations to make you feel you have time-traveled back to the 18th century, giving context and making the events, people, and ideas that created this nation more immediate and relevant. A private nonprofit institution founded by Jerry Lendfest who put up $50 million and raised $100 million more from thousands of donors, the Museum of the American Revolution goes beyond the Founding Fathers and well known key figures to explore the personal stories of the diverse range of individuals who were part of establishing our nation, including women, native people, and free and enslaved people of African descent.

The experience brings you on a chronological journey from the roots of conflict in the 1760s through the creation of the American republic. Along the way, you learn about the rise of the armed resistance to British taxation, the creation of the Declaration of Independence, the long years of brutal warfare and, most intriguingly how the Revolution continues to be relevant today. The museum experience is a journey through time and place and builds to a climax: seeing General Washington’s War Tent, one of the most significant surviving artifacts of the Revolution. (I save this experience for last, and the presentation is so riveting, I sit through it twice.) It’s not just the history of the war, battle by battle, with amazing detail and with skillful use of multi-media to enhance the dramatic retelling, but even more interestingly, how it overlays the human dimension. These aren’t just places and dates and round numbers, but individuals, some of them heroes whose names are so familiar, and many who were just ordinary people swept up in events. There is a wealth of information, but the presentation is so engaging, children of any age will be swept up in the drama (and it is a good thing that you can split up your time over two consecutive days). My favorite gallery is the one devoted to the Oneida Indian Nation, where there are life-size figures who you hear debating (as a video provides a visual context) whether to support the Revolutionary cause, the British or stay neutral. Indeed, the Revolutionary War split the Six Nations Confederation. At

the end, photos are displayed of Oneida who have served in the American military in every conflict since the Revolutionary War. A section devoted to women introduces us to Deborah Sampson who dressed as a man to join the 4th Massachusetts Regiment and fought in New York’s Hudson Valley where she was wounded in the thigh with a musket ball and took the bullet out herself to avoid being found out by the surgeons (she was honorably discharged in 1783 and later published a memoir of her experiences.); and to Esther Reed who published an essay, “Sentiments of an American Woman.” Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams, urged the writers of the Constitution to “remember the women,” and wrote her husband, John Adams, a Congressman at the time, in March 1776, “If particular care is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.” The King’s abuses proved that men were tyrants, she wrote, and only the influence of women could secure reason and liberty. (That revolution clearly is still going on.) A really interesting character I had never known about before was Baroness von Riedesel who followed her husband into battle and was taken prisoner in 1777 when General Burgoyne surrendered to General Gates at the Battle of Saratoga (a pivotal battle, which had the British won, would have enabled them to separate New York, the breadbasket for the American army, from the rest of the colonies; instead, the American victory enabled Ben Franklin to persuade

France to give critical support to the Americans). She is depicted as a hero: “In the final days of the siege, the Baroness guarded the lives of women, children and wounded men. She barricaded them in a basement as American cannonballs slammed the house. She cared for her own children and the most vulnerable members of the army for six days. For most of this time, the firing was so heavy that they could not leave, and the basement filled with excrement. But she probably saved dozens of lives.” She was taken prisoner along with her husband and nearly 5,000 British and Hessian troops who were moved frequently to prevent their escape or rescue and were not freed until the war ended in 1783. (You can continue this immersion into women during the Revolutionary War era at the Betsy Ross House a few blocks away.) The museum does a yeoman’s job of humanizing and personalizing war, revolution and nation-building. For example, we learn that “Hessians, portrayed [by propaganda, which was waged by both sides] as cruel and inhuman but were a lot like Americans: King George hired 20,000 German special troops who came from six European nations and most were poor farmers with families.” In “Finding Freedom”, you can explore the different experiences of enslaved African Americans in Virginia in 1781, using a multi-kiosk touch screen interactive based on the lives of five men and women who followed different paths to freedom during the Revolutionary War. The Museum worked with a historical illustrator

W R I T E R’S C O R N E R

There’s this new terminology & I want to keep up! BY CLAIRE LYNCH It seems like every time I turn around I’m hearing a new computer term and as much as I try to keep up technology-wise, I’ve got to ask someone “in the know” what it means and how it may or may not affect the things I do every day. I’ve gotten very computer savvy when I think back and compare my knowledge today compared to “day 1” of my world of personal computers, laptops and smart phones. But when I stand next to computer experts and hear them talk, I feel like I am still a little lacking in that department. When they really get talking their lingo, sometimes I feel like I am on another planet – at least temporarily! So every so often I browse lists of computer terms to see if I know exactly what they mean or if I have to look them up. Below is a list of some computer terms. Do you know what they all mean? Cloud Computing - Storing and accessing information and services via the Internet. Microblogging - Using social media to share content like text, photos, videos, etc. Example: Twitter, Facebook, Google+Clone - Computer, hardware

device, or software program that is made to be similar to an existing device or technology. A cloned product is almost always made by a third-party company and not the company that originally designed it. Decimal - Alternatively referred to as base 10, decimal is a numbering system comprised of the numerals 0 to 9 that was first used by the Chinese in 1350 B.C. Integrity - When referring to network or data security, integrity, also known as data integrity, is a term used to describe data that is intact. More specifically, data that may only be accessed, modified, or copied by those who are authorized to do so. Any data that has lost its integrity is said to have been compromised. Double Space - In text formatting, a double space means sentences contain a full blank line (the equivalent of the full height of a line of text) between the rows of words. By default, most programs have single spacing enabled, which is a slight space between each line of text, similar to how this paragraph looks. Most word processors and browsers allow for custom spacing. Organic - Content that ranks highly because people have liked it or viewed it, not because companies have paid to promote the content.

Hashtag - A function used with Twitter and other services that give a post or tweet a keyword. For example, someone could use the #computer hashtag to let others know it relates to computers and have it easily found and sorted. All hash tags begin with a hash character, which is the symbol (#) above the 3 on U.S. keyboards. Engagement - How much people use and interact with social media, e.g., liking posts on Facebook, tweeting on Twitter, viewing pins on Pinterest. Home Row Keys - The home row keys are the row of keys on the computer keyboard your fingers rest on when not typing. For example, on the standard QWERTY United States keyboard, the home row keys for your left hand are A, S, D, and F and your right hand are J, K, l, and ; (semicolon). For both hands, the thumbs rest on the spacebar. By positioning your hands properly on the home row keys you can memorize where all other keys on the keyboard are located. Application - A type of software also called “app” and often used to refer to mobile device software. Kernel - In computing, the “kernel” is the central component of most computer operating systems. It is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hard-

ware level. The kernel’s responsibilities include managing the system’s resources (the communication between hardware and software components). To me corn kernels are the fruits of maize. Maize is a grain and the kernels are used in cooking as a vegetable or a source of starch. One hundred bushels of corn can contain upwards of 7,280,000 kernels. Case Sensitive - Text or inputted text that is sensitive to capitalization of letters. For example, “Computer” and “computer” are two different words because the “C” is uppercase in the first example and lowercase in the second example. In many cases with computers or accounts that require a logon to access, the username and password is case-sensitive, which means the username and password must have the correct case. If you are unable to log into a computer or account, make sure the caps lock key isn’t on and that you are using the correct case for each letter in your username and password. Hybrid App - An application that will work on different platforms and is a combination of a native app and a web app. Keystroke - A keystroke is a single press of a key on a keyboard. Each key See page D6

BY TOM MARGENAU I just got an email that absolutely floored me. Honestly, it even brought a lump to my throat. It has to do with something that happened about 25 years ago, while I was working for the Social Security Administration in San Diego, California. Frankly, it was a rather routine occurrence for me back then, and still is today. Let me explain -- and then we will get to this guy’s email. For almost 50 years now, I have been making speeches and other presentations to large and small groups around the country about Social Security. For most of those years, I was doing so as an official representative of SSA. But I retired from SSA in 2005, and for the past 13 years I’ve been freelancing as a private Social Security consultant. I’d guess that at more than half the presentations I make, someone in the audience gets up on their soapbox and starts ranting and raving about Social Security. Or rather, as they so often cleverly put it (at least in their own minds), “Social Insecurity.” They go on and on about how the program is a government boondoggle, a sham, a Ponzi scheme, a fraud, a rip-off, a liberal hoax and yadda yadda yadda! If they are younger, they always say they are convinced the program will be broke before they ever collect a dime in benefits. If they are older, they say that Social Security will go belly up long before their kids ever reach retirement age. I always let them go on for a minute or two. Usually by then, other members of the audience will have asked the guy (and it’s always been a man who interrupts me) to shut up and sit down. I actually don’t mind the intrusion. Because it lets me make some points, not just to the ranting interrupter but to the rest of the assembled crowd as well. I tell them to recall stories they may have heard about those so-called “good old days” before Social Security came along. But what they may not have heard is that 50 percent of all senior citizens were living below the poverty level. And many of them were living with their grown children because they couldn’t afford a place of their own. Today, after about eight decades of Social Security payments, the senior citizen poverty level is below 10 percent. And not only are most older folks living in their own homes: Many of them have second homes or vacation cottages. Or they are traveling a lot. Or, like my wife and me, they are enjoying visits from the grandkids and playing lots of Scrabble games on the back porch. In other words, most senior citizens are rather content and happy. And Social Security is a big reason for that. And as far as the “insecurity” of Social Security, I point out that the program has been paying benefits to millions of Americans on time every month for 80 years now. I always ask the interrupt-

Y O U R S O C I A L S E C U R I T Y

An Apology -- 25 Years Later er, “How long must Social Security be around before you finally acknowledge that it is here to stay?” I also take a few minutes to point out that the program surely faces some challenges now because of the retirement of the baby boom generation. But then I explain (as I’ve done hundreds of times in this column), that with a few relatively modest adjustments to Social Security taxes or benefits, the program will be around for many generations to come. So now, let’s get to this email I got. This is just a slightly shortened version of what showed up in my inbox earlier this week. “I was at a speech you gave to a rotary club meeting in San Diego about 25 years ago. I’m not sure if you remember the incident, but I got up and challenged you. I don’t recall everything I said, but I know I used the term ‘Social Insecurity’ and went on about how I thought the program was a sham foisted on the American people by FDR (President Franklin Delano Roosevelt) and his cronies. I was about 60 years old at the time, and I said I was pretty sure the program would be broke before I had a chance to collect benefits. And I further said I was absolutely convinced Social Security would no longer be around for my kids. “Well, fast-forward almost a quarter century later. I’m now living in Palm Springs and I saw your column in one of our local papers. I couldn’t believe this was the same Social Security guy I saw at the San Diego rotary club all those years earlier. Anyway, I wanted you to know that my wife and I have been getting our Social Security checks for almost 20 years now. And our oldest son and his wife just signed up and started getting their Social Security checks. So I wanted you to know that I was wrong and you were right. And I just wanted to say that I am sorry for interrupting your speech all those many years ago. If you ever are in the Palm Springs area, let me take you out to lunch!” Well, as I said, this email choked me up a bit. What a wonderful gesture. This has never happened to me in my almost half-century of dealing with Social Security issues. I must admit that I have often wondered about all those folks who, over the years, have ranted and raved about the supposed “insecurity” of Social Security. I knew that most of them were probably now collecting monthly benefits. And I wondered if any of them had changed their minds. Well, now I know that at least one of them has. And by the way, I let this guy know that if I ever do make it to Palm Springs, lunch would be on me, as a thank you for his noble gesture. And now, let’s turn to another email I also got this week. Q: You should discuss the risks of Socialist Insecurity, revealing how people could lose their benefits to the government if they do not live to collect

any benefits and have no eligible survivors. Socialist Insecurity is the ultimate political scheme that assures politicians of their long-term incumbency. But FICA payers don`t deserve to lose their hardearned retirement money just to keep corrupt politicians in office. So, let the revolution begin! No more FICA taxation without representation. A: I don’t give actual names of email writers in this column. But let’s call the

guy who wrote the email discussed in the first part of this column “Frank.” And let’s call the guy who sent this email to me “Bill.” Gosh, Bill, I sure would like to introduce you to Frank. And if you can get to Palm Springs, maybe we can take you out to that lunch we are planning. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

One of the premier collections of its kind, it includes several thousand objects from the Revolutionary period, and includes George Washington’s personal belongings, as well as an impressive assortment of weaponry, soldiers’ and civilians’ personal items, fine art, letters, diaries, and manuscripts. You can examine child-sized slave shackles, an intricately carved woman’s busk (corset piece), and a signed 1773 volume “Poems on Various Subjects” by Phillis Wheatley, America’s first published black female poet. Nearly 50 Revolutionary War-era weapons and artifacts are on display in Arms of Independence and below them, a multi-kiosk touch screen interactive enables you to virtually handle them to learn more about their uses, owners, and makers. Using the latest ultra-high definition photography, you get a 360-degree view of the glassencased weapons and artifacts, most of which have never been displayed before. There are more than 20 re-created historical moments with life-like figures, tableaux intended to broaden our view of the people who were central to the Revolution. One of these scenes is a brawl among Revolutionary soldiers that George Washington broke up in Harvard Yard; another portrays the statue of King George III as it is about to be torn down by an angry mob in New York City; another features artist Charles Willson Peale reuniting with his brother James on the banks of the Delaware River in December 1776; there is a view of Independence Hall in disarray during the British occupation of Philadelphia; a pair of Loyalist cavalry troopers in the South; and a conversation between enslaved Virginians and a black Loyalist soldier in 1781. There are opportunities to participate in the story which is why the exhibits are so engaging for children as well as adults. You can mix-and-match pieces of a soldier’s uniform to learn about how soldiers displayed their loyalties; learn about the common soldiers and their families who endured the harsh winter at Valley Forge with flip-doors that explore the complex workings of a war camp; assume George Washington’s role as President of the Constitutional Convention by sitting in a reproduction of the “Rising Sun” chair; and try hand at an early American stitching lesson through an interactive sampler station in a gallery on the role mothers played in educating children as citizens. Costumed educators offer a deeper

understanding of the lives and times of the Revolutionaries: at the Battlefield Theater, learn to muster before marching into battle; on the Privateer Ship, discover how to load and fire one of the ship’s cannons; at Discovery Carts, you can handle replica artifacts to learn more about how they were made and used. Climax: Washington’s War Tent All of this builds to the climatic experience: and the crown jewel of the Museum and the original artifact which led to the creation of the museum to begin with: General Washington’s War Tent. You line up for the timed show in a dedicated theater built to house one of the most iconic surviving artifacts of the Revolution: General Washington’s War Tent, which served as both his office and his sleeping quarters through much of the war. It was within the folds of this tent that key decisions were made that changed the course of history. I was expecting to walk into an exhibit of the tent. Instead, it is dramatically revealed after a powerful 12-minute video. The movie screen rises to reveal a gauzy sheet which rises to show the tent. With surroundsound track, theatrical lighting, video projection on a front scrim and screen, as well as on a scenic wall behind the tent you see the tent, in different times of day, months, seasons, years as if marching in time. The presentation makes you really appreciate the meaning of the tent and why it is so iconic – it is a physical link to the man who was, as Henry Lee said, “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Indeed, the tent has its own dramatic story which lives on beyond Washington. The tent was created for use as a mobile headquarters during the Revolutionary War. It was made See page D6

Storage Device - Alternatively referred to as digital storage, storage, storage media, or storage medium, a storage device is any hardware capable of holding information either temporarily or permanently. There are two types of storage devices used with computers: a primary storage device, such as RAM, and a secondary storage device, like a hard drive. Secondary storage can be removable, internal, or external storage. Design - Design in graphics refers to the planning and layout of elements in an image, illustration, or video with the aid of specialized software, like Adobe Photoshop. Designed graphics can be created from scratch or modified existing images. Speaker - 1. A speaker is a term used to describe the user who is giving vocal commands to a software program. 2. A computer speaker is a hardware device that connects to a computer to generate sound. The signal used to produce the sound that comes from a computer speaker is created by the computer’s sound card. Multichannel - Using different marketing platforms, e.g., using website banner ads, Facebook ads, and marketing emails. Satellite - A man made object that has been placed into Earth’s orbit. The first satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. Today, there are hundreds of satellites in space that facilitate many services around the world including; GPS, global topography, and wireless communications. Mention - Referring to a person or

account on social media, e.g., @mention on Twitter, +mention on Google+ Uptime and Downtime - How long a website, computer or system has been working (uptime) or not working (downtime). Responsive - A website that adapts gracefully to different-sized devices like phones, tablets, wearable devices, etc. Diagram - A name of a drawing or illustration that shows how something has been designed or functions. For example, many network administrators have a diagram of their network to help give a visual example of how their network is setup; allowing them to identify a problem or locate something on a network. Grid System - The set of columns and rows that can be used as guidelines to arrange content on a web page. Driver - Also known as a device driver or hardware driver, a driver is a group of files that enable one or more hardware devices to communicate with the computer’s operating system. Without drivers, the computer would not be able to send and receive data correctly to hardware devices, such as a printer. Telecommunications - Term used to describe the process of transmitting data electronically over any communications line. For example, a modem accessing a bulletin board service (BBS) or the Internet is an example of telecommunications. Web Server - Computer that can be accessed through the internet or software that responds to server requests. Mood Board - The collection of content showing the visual style for a website including color palette, images, icons, fonts, etc. HTML - Stands for “HyperText Markup Language.” It is coding language used to put content on a web page

and give it structure. Telephony - Telephony is a term used to describe a technology that enables a user to receive and conduct calls through their computer. Although today the majority of all modems include telephony capabilities, the user must have software that enables him or her to take advantage of this technology.

For example, a user may toggle between a software program and a software calculator. Wireframe - A simple sketch of the key information that goes on each web page. Bug - A mistake or unwanted piece of code that keeps a website or program from working the way it should. Tuneup - For a computer, a tuneup refers to improving the performance of the computer by way of several processes. These processes can include the removal of temp files, uninstalling computer programs, fixing computer errors, and cleaning up the Registry. While the tuneup process can be done manually, it is recommended that a software program be used that is designed to perform the tuneup process automatically. Windows includes the Disk Cleanup utility and there are also many options to choose from for these software programs. Data Visualization - Using graphs, charts, tables, infographics, etc. to better tell about data and findings from it. Type Hierarchy - The system of using different font sizes for text on a website to organize it and make it more visual appealing.

Palette - The set of available colors in a computer software, graphics program or computer system. More advanced graphic programs such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP have color palettes with millions of available colors and shades of colors. Kerberos - A computer network authentication protocol that is used by both Windows 2000 and Windows XP as their default authentication method. When it was created by programmers at MIT in the 1970s, they wanted a name that suggested high security for the project, so they named it after Kerberos, in Greek mythology the three-headed dog guarding the gates of Hades. The reference to Greek mythology is most likely because Kerberos was developed as part of Project Athena. Ping - A computer network tool used to detect hosts. CAPTCHA - CAPTCHA checks are the strings of letters and numbers that have to be typed in on some web pages before something can be saved. They exist because, although humans find interpreting these strings relatively easy, computers do not. Setting up these checks blocks an automated process, such as one generating spam, from using the page, whereas a human is still able to. The acronym “CAPTCHA” actually stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart” – a rather contrived way of arriving at an acronym that sounds like the word “capture.” You see them quite frequently at the bottom of web forms. Some of the above words are new to me and others are not. Regardless, I want to know and understand all of them because I want to be tech savvy! *Thanks to computerhope.com, techopedia.com and skillcrush.com

Philadelphia’s New Museum Immerses You into Drama of America’s Revolutionary War C ontinued from page D5 in Reading, Pennsylvania, while Washington was encamped at Valley Forge in 1778. He used it until 1783, including throughout the 1781 Siege of Yorktown, the last major land battle of the war. Indeed, throughout the war, Washington spent only a few days back at his Mount Vernon plantation. The tent covers an area about 23 feet long and 14 feet wide and consists of three small chambers – a central office, a half-circle sleeping chamber for the general, and a small area for luggage and for sleeping quarters

for his enslaved African American valet, William Lee, who traveled with Washington through the war. But the drama of the tent doesn’t end there. After the war, the tent was eventually acquired by Martha Washington’s grandson, George Washington Parke Custis, and was stored at his Virginia estate, Arlington House. It passed to Custis’ daughter Mary Anna, who was the wife of General Robert E. Lee (how ironic was that? – both a revolutionary like Washington, but in pursuit of destroying the nation that Washington won and lead), only to have it seized by federal troops at the

start of the Civil War when they took over Lee’s plantation. The tent remained in federal possession for 40 years before it was returned to the Lee family. Mary Custis Lee put the tent up for sale to raise money for Confederate veterans. In the early 1900s, an Episcopal minister, Rev. W. Herbert Burk, dreamed of creating a museum to tell the story of our nation’s founding. He began collecting historical artifacts, beginning with General George Washington’s War Tent. He raised the $5,000 to purchase the tent from hundreds of ordinary Americans. The acquisition began a century of collecting

– a collection which eventually came under the ownership of the Museum of the American Revolution. Textile conservator Virginia Whelan spent more than 500 hours restoring the priceless hand-stitched, linen tent. “Losses” – small holes which could fray – needed to be stabilized so that original material wasn’t lost. The process involved inserting an extremely fine needle and thread between the fibers of the tent’s weave and using virtually invisible netting to stabilize the holes. The conservation effort also entailed using digital inkjet printing to reproduce new fabric that matched

Kickstart Healthy Habits When it seems that everyone around you is feeling under the weather, you can be your own best line of defense against getting sick. Help ward off sickness for yourself and your family with these self-care tips that help promote healthy habits and fight off illness. Eat right. A diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables can give your body the immunity-boosting nutrients it needs to function properly. Avoid excess, empty calories and instead aim for meals that deliver a healthy balance of all food groups. Wash, wash, wash. Kids and bacteria go hand-in-hand, literally. Kids’ hands are everywhere, including some surfaces that may be more susceptible to bacteria. Hand-washing is a simple way to encourage healthy habits all year round, and Softsoap Liquid Hand Soaps make it easy to gently wash away bacteria. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand-washing is an important step to help avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. You can find more hand-washing tips

and information by visiting CDC.gov/ handwashing. Get up and move. Exercise is one of your strongest weapons against illness. A regular routine that gets your blood pumping is good for overall health and your immune system. It can help flush toxins and keep your body in top condition. Just say no. When it comes to protecting yourself and your family, give yourself permission to draw hard lines about spending time with those who aren’t feeling well. Reschedule play dates or other events that might unnecessarily expose your family to germs. Rest up. When your sleep schedule is off, so is your whole system, and that makes you more susceptible to illness. Everyone’s precise sleep requirements are different; you’ll know you’re getting enough if you feel rested when you wake up. If you’re not, and more overnight rest isn’t realistic, look for ways to sneak in some extra rest time during the day.

A busy schedule doesn’t have to prevent you from taking steps toward a lifestyle that fosters overall well-being. There are many easy, small changes you can make toward better living that can make a noticeable impact. 1. Choose the long route. For many people, it’s an automatic move to find the closest parking space or shortest distance to the door. With your lifestyle goals in mind, consider taking a different approach. Look for ways to work in more physical activity. Seek out a spot in the back of the parking lot as an opportunity to increase your steps for the day, or choose the longer scenic route when walking your dog at the park for a more pleasant experience all-around. 2. Go for guilt-free snacks. Better living isn’t about giving up everything you like; it’s about balance and moderation. For example, Nonni’s Foods now makes a better-for-you chocolate chip thin cookie that lets you enjoy the indulgence without the guilt. Made with real, premium ingredients like dark chocolate, crunchy California almonds and coconut oil, the individual

Small Changes for Better Living portion packs are portable for the perfect on-the-go snack to satisfy cravings anytime, anywhere. Available in Double Chocolate, Almond Chocolate and Toasted Coconut varieties, each pack contains three cookies that are low in sugar, fat and carbohydrates with an average of only 100 calories total. 3. Take time to recharge. Even when you’re strapped for time, carving out a few minutes for yourself each day to focus on your mental well-being is important. This can include simply enjoying a few moments of silence or something more specific like meditating or journaling. Busy people tend to carry more stress, so looking for ways to inject these calming activities into daily schedules can help keep you refreshed and bring you more happiness. 4. Practice self-care. Especially when you’re busy, it’s easy to slack on self-care, but combine that with elevated stress and you may be especially susceptible to not feeling your best. Give yourself a boost with a daily vitamin or try a warm bath with Epsom salt to soothe your senses.

5. Space out your meals. Waiting hours to eat can cause people to overeat at major mealtimes – especially dinner. Taking time to plan simple snacks throughout the day helps ensure cravings are met and overeating is avoided when the dinner bell rings.

Consider keeping a snack like Nonni’s Artisan Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies on-hand for guilt-free snacking when hunger strikes. For more better-for-you snack ideas, visit nonnis.com.

What are biologic medicines? A relatively recent wave of medications has provided significant advances in treating a wide range of illnesses, particularly those that are linked to auto-immune dysfunction or chronic ailments. Many people may be prescribed a biologic response modifier medicine at some point in their lives, and those who understand when and why such medications are prescribed may find such knowledge calms their nerves and reduces any confusion they might have about their conditions. What are biologic response modifiers? Biologics are derived from animal products. First-generation biologic products included things like vaccines and blood components. However, a newer wave of biologic medicines has come to market over the last decade or so. These medications are manufactured through biotechnology and are complex proteins, sugars, nucleic acids, or a combination of these substances that are created from living cells. Cells may include yeast, bacteria or a widely used cell called CHO, which originated from hamsters in China. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration says biologics are often at the forefront of biomedical research and are continually evolving. Why biologics are different Unlike traditional medicines, which are largely made from chemical components that follow a strict recipe for manufacture, many biologics are complex mixtures that are not easily replicated. According to the resource Everyday Health, when biologics are made, a specific gene is isolated and inserted into the host cell’s DNA, where it will become permanent. The cell follows the instructions of the gene and how it was

programmed and becomes a specifically functioning cell. This one reprogrammed cell is combined with others that have been made the same way. The entire process of biologic manufacturing is complex, requiring state-of-the-art knowledge. It also requires entirely new biotechnology facilities and laboratories that employ top-notch scientists. These factors combine to contribute to the generally high price tag of biologic medications. How biologics work According to WebMD, biologics are designed to inhibit specific components of the immune system that may cause a symptom of a disease. For example, in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, the medication would suppress inflammation, which is a central feature of the disease. Biologics target specific parts of the immune system rather than broadly treating the body. Diseases that may be treated by biologics include rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and even certain cancers. Side effects of biologic medicines Because most biologics are administered intravenously, injection-site irritation can be a common side effect. Biologics also carry a risk of infection. According to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, because biologics target the immune system, there is a risk for serious infection or disease. Biologic medicines continue to evolve and can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions for which no other treatments are available or effective.

Biologic medicines may help those for whom other treatments have proven ineffective.

Non-to-Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery: Slim, sculpt, and perfect your summer body

For many people, losing those last 10 pounds can be quite a challenge. Others have problem areas that resistant to diet and exercise. In a perfect world, spot reduction without medical intervention would be possible; unfortunately, this is not so. Luckily, there are some non and/or minimally invasive procedures that can help you spot reduce and get you the body you always dreamed of. Coolsculpting® is a non-surgical procedure that freezes fat cells until the fat cells die. It can be used in many areas including: the arms, abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs and even under the chin. The procedure involves no needles and no surgery, and you can get back to your regular routine right away. Repeat treatments may be necessary as each treatment removes about 25% of the fat in the area. The results take a few weeks to notice, but after the procedure, your body simply flushes the fat cells away. It is best for those with localized fat deposits that have not responded to diet or exercise and do not have time for downtime. Mini Liposuction is a focused area liposuction that is done under local anesthesia while the patient is awake; although some sedative medication can be given if the patient requests it. It can be used to remove fat in localized areas or to sculpt and define. With liposuction, fluid containing numbing agents is infiltrated into the treatment area. Then, small incisions are placed in inconspicuous areas to allow for the insertion of a cannula—a long and slim tube. This cannula is repeatedly passed under the skin to dislodge and remove fat with the use of a suction machine. Since the cannula is so slim, it allows the surgeon the ability for precision—removing only the portions of the fat that are necessary to achieve the perfect contour. After the procedure, the patient wears a compressive garment to help with skin contraction and to aid in healing.

To take it to another level, Mini Liposuction can be used in conjunction with ThermiTight®—a device that helps tighten loose skin. ThermiTight® uses controlled heating by way of radio frequency technology. This heating aids in collagen production resulting in skin tightening. With this minimally-invasive procedure, it is similar in the way of liposuction by which the numbing agents are first infiltrated to numb the area. The difference is that a slim probe is used instead of a cannula to heat the dermal tissues under the skin. ThermiTight® can be used immediately after fat is removed via liposuction to correct skin laxity issues, or on its own if fat does not need to be removed. It can be used on many areas of the body: the arms, abdomen, and legs—pretty much anywhere you need skin tightening.

As temperatures drop, the spread of cold and flu germs rises. Start the year off healthy and be sure to rid your home of lingering germs that may be hiding in places you don’t expect. “I always recommend the flu shot especially when officials are predicting a harsh flu season like this year - good nutrition and plenty of sleep, but there are other healthy habits we can all develop to help keep ourselves and those around us stay healthy during cold and flu season,” said Dr. Tanya Altmann, pediatrician, best-selling author and founder of Calabasas Pediatrics. “Vaccination is important, but there are other preventative measures that we should all keep in mind.” These tips from the experts at Clorox can help you prevent the spread of germs: 1. Get Vaccinated. Even though it’s well into cold and flu season, it’s still important to get a flu shot if you haven’t already. Vaccination is the first step in flu prevention. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend a yearly flu virus vaccination - even if the vaccine’s efficacy fluctuates - for almost everyone 6 months and older. 2. Keep Hands Washed: Hands touch

6 Ways to Fight the Flu so many things throughout the day. It’s important to wash your hands often, including after using the bathroom and before preparing or serving food. Germs can spread by touching your eyes, nose or mouth after coming in contact with a contaminated surface. Those areas are common entry points to the body for germs, so try not to touch your face or eat until you wash your hands. 3. Stay Home if You’re Sick: Even though you may not want to miss work or school, it’s important to stay home to prevent the spread of illnesses to those around you. Even at home, make sure to cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue to prevent the spread of germs to your loved ones. Lastly, try your best to make good use of your time off from work or school to rest, relax, eat well and recover from illnesses. 4. Follow Health Guidelines: It’s important to eat right (fill up with fresh fruit and veggies, vitamin D and probiotics), get some exercise (at least 30 minutes a day of moderate intensity) and get plenty of sleep (at least 8 hours per night) to help boost your body’s ability to fight the effects of cold and flu viruses. 5. Be Aware of Your Environment: Be aware of illnesses going around in

your community to take extra precautions to avoid them or to know when to seek medical attention if you do get sick. 6. Disinfect Hard Surfaces: Disinfection is a key step to help prevent the spread of cold and flu germs. The CDC recommends disinfecting frequently touched, hard surfaces, such

as doorknobs, refrigerator handles, light switches and faucets, with an EPA-registered disinfectant like Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. They help kill 99.9 percent of germs that can live for up to 48 hours on hard, non-porous surfaces. Learn more about flu prevention at Clorox.com/FluFOMO.

Clearing up adult acne

All-Natural Solution to Lose Weight, Balance Hormones and Feel Great!!!

Today many people suffer from symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Symptoms can range from inability to lose weight, unexplained weight gain, hot flashes, fatigue, inability to sleep, achy joints, mood swings, loss of libido, anxiety, depression and many other issues. While there are medications designed to replace hormones, there are very few natural alternatives. Be Balanced provides a healthy, all-natural alternative to weight loss and hormone balancing.

Many youngsters develop acne during adolescence. Acne often disappears by the time adolescents graduate high school, but for some people, acne lingers into adulthood. The American Academy of Dermatology says adults can get acne, which may persist as adults reach their 30s, 40s or 50s. Some people even develop acne for the first time as adults, a condition known as adult-onset acne. Although both men and women can develop acne, women tend to get adult acne more often than men. Adult acne can bße particularly frustrating for adults who had acne as children. Understanding what’s behind the blemishes can help people get the treatment they need to banish breakouts.

ic, women can speak with their doctors about hormone therapy or birth control pills to see if either option can alleviate the hormone fluctuations that contribute to acne. • Family history: Genes also may be to blame for adult acne, as some people may have a genetic predisposition to acne. • Medication: Acne may be a side effect of certain medications. If medicine is triggering breakouts, women can discuss potential alternatives with their physicians. • Sugar: Some evidence suggests that sugar can contribute to acne by raising insulin levels, which then triggers oil-releasing male hormones. Stick to foods that do not trigger a sugar (and insu-

• Stress: Stress may contribute to adult acne. When stressed, the body releases certain hormones, most notably cortisol, to address the problem. Skin experts say that testosterone can accompany cortisol, which can drive oil glands to produce more oil. Stress can lead to more oily skin, which increases the likelihood of breakouts. Learning how to reduce stress can lead to clearer skin. • Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormones are normal for women. Estrogen and progesterone levels vary depending on the menstrual cycle. The Johns Hopkins Department of Dermatology says that acne is prevalent before one’s menstrual cycle, and can also occur during menopause when hormones are in flux again. If acne is problemat-

lin) spike. Australian researchers found that people who followed a low-glycemic index diet (which is low in refined carbohydrates like those found in white bread) had a 22 percent decrease in acne lesions, compared with a control group that ate more high-GI foods. • Salt: It’s not the greasy fries that cause acne, but it very well may be the salt on those fries. Some doctors suspect that sodium can cause issues with the skin because the iodine found in table salt and seafood can build up and make acne worse. If these options do not work, speak with a dermatologist about cleansing regimens and topical treatments that can help reduce acne breakouts.

Our busy lives and the food we eat can lead to hormonal imbalance. Due to many stressors in our daily lives, our cortisol production tends to be at high levels. Cortisol production at high levels can lead to a crash in our adrenal system which leads to adrenal fatigue and burnout. When we have adrenal fatigue, our bodies can “steal” progesterone to make more cortisol causing an imbalance between estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. When this happens, symptoms of hormonal imbalance start to manifest and grow over time resulting in a reduced quality of life. Traditional diets focus on counting calories and following meal plans. Many offer supplementation and medication that is unnatural to our bodies providing temporary weight loss support. Other diets require eating pre-packaged foods. While many of these programs can be effective, they do not address the core issue of hormonal imbalance. As soon as the diet ends, weight begins to creep back on and symptoms of imbalance remain prevalent. Be Balanced is an all-natural innovative approach to weight loss and hormone balancing. Using the power of proprietary supplementation, combined with a healthy diet plan and targeted coaching, we work with each client to individually pinpoint their hormonal imbalance through detailed symptom testing. We provide all-natural supplements and round the clock coaching to support each client on their journey. Additionally, the program targets removal of candida yeast and liver detoxification which can also lead to an imbalance of hormones.

Assistive Technology

Tools to improve the everyday Most Americans want to stay in their homes as they age. Not a bad plan, but what if your home doesn’t fit you as well as it once did? Often, aging can be accompanied by a change in your ability to manage and move around in your home. That’s where assistive technology better known as AT - comes in. No matter your age or what type of disability you may have, chances are there is an AT device out there that can help you with everyday tasks. AT isn’t a new concept. In fact, most people have probably used an assistive device without realizing it. Smartphones, voice command technology and certain types of software all fall under the AT umbrella. AT also includes plenty of low-tech devices, like adapted pencil grips for students with disabilities. There’s an ever-growing variety of AT tools available to help with household chores, work functions, getting around, seeing, hearing, learning and living independently in general. These devices and technologies are designed to help older adults and people with disabilities, but you may find that these tools can make life easier for anyone. Examples of AT devices and tools include: * Hearing aids

The right AT for you At first, trying to find the right AT tools and solutions can feel overwhelming. The network of State Assistive Technology Act Programs is a good place to start. Your state AT Act program can provide information and support to help you identify and acquire AT that meets your needs. These programs offer: * Device demonstration and short-term loan programs that allow you to try out equipment before purchasing

* Vehicle modifications, such as hand controls or wheelchair lifts

* Reuse programs that provide gently used devices at substantial savings

* Devices that help with bathing and eating

* Financing options, such as cash loan programs, that can help you get the AT devices you need

* Software modifications for those with hearing and visual challenges * Equipment, such as grab bars in a shower, to help prevent falls * Eye glasses and magnification devices to help individuals with low vision * Communication devices for individuals with speech disabilities * Wheelchairs, walkers and other mobility devices

You can find the AT Act Program in your state or territory at acl.gov/AT. You’ll also find additional information on state AT programs, data about the network of state AT programs and additional resources to help you find and obtain AT that fits your needs. With more research and awareness around the importance of AT, the future possibilities for living independently in the place of your choosing are almost limitless.

Move More for a Healthy Heart

While heart health and how to prevent heart disease are important topics, many people in the United States - African Americans, in particular - remain at risk.

* Strengthen heart muscles * Improve blood flow * Lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels * Help control weight

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, African Americans ages 18-49 are almost twice as likely as Caucasians to die from heart disease. Additionally, about 33 percent of African Americans ages 35-49 and 61 percent ages 50-64 have high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease.

Ways to Become More Active Every Day In addition to working toward at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to avoid being sedentary, when possible. You can do that by making choices that build activity in your day. Some examples include: * Taking the stairs * Printing at the printer farthest from your desk at work. * Getting off the bus one stop early * Parking in the farthest space from the door * Walking around while you are on the phone or having walking meetings * Being active with your children, including playing outdoors * Planning a vacation that includes physical activities * Playing basketball or taking a yoga class with friends instead of meeting up for drinks or a meal * Putting on some music and dancing

However, there are many ways for you to lower your risk for heart disease, and one of the most important is by becoming physically active. National guidelines recommend at least 2 hours, 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week for adults, like brisk walking where your blood gets pumping and you are a little breathless. If you find yourself short of time, you can incorporate physical activity in small chunks, such as three 10-minute intervals per day, and still achieve some heart health benefits. How Moving More Helps When done regularly, physical activity can give your entire body - not just your heart - a boost. Getting your heart rate up and breaking a sweat can:

Check with Your Doctor Certain physical activities are safe for most people. However, if you have a

chronic health condition such as heart disease, arthritis or diabetes, talk with your doctor about the type and amount of physical activity that is right for your health. Incorporating regular physical

activity into your life can help your health in many ways, but it can be especially helpful for your heart. Find more heart-healthy facts and tips from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at nhlbi.nih.gov.

the original material. The new fabric swatches were then used to repair holes, rips, and a large piece that had been cut away. For this, Whelan partnered with faculty from Philadelphia University’s textile design faculty. One of the challenges of displaying the tent was to keep the drape-like effect of the fabric without putting tension on it. To design a system that would support the artifact without inducing stress in the delicate fabric, the Museum commissioned Keast & Hood, a structural engineering firm that is a nationally recognized leader in the preservation, restoration, and rehabilitation of historic structures. Keast & Hood worked with a team of conservators, historians, and craftsmen to design an innovative umbrella-like aluminum structure and canvas subtent membrane, creating an illusion of the tent draping naturally. The ropes that originally tensioned the tent are now purely aesthetic and representative of the earlier form. The

tent is set behind glass in a 300-square foot climate-controlled object case. The presentation is so powerful, I watched it twice and both times, the audience applauded at the end. The museum does an excellent job of tackling complex ideas, the span of history, the intricacies of the battles, while also bringing in a human scale. There is so much to see and absorb, it is a really good idea to take advantage of the fact the ticket is valid for two consecutive days. Located just steps away from Independence Hall, Carpenters’ Hall, and Franklin Court, the Museum, is housed in an impressive three-story state-of-the-art building and serves as a portal to the region’s many Revolutionary sites. The Museum is a private, non-profit, and non-partisan organization. Guided Tours: While most visitor tours are self-guided, the Museum does offer several guided tours, including: Early Access Guided Tour, a 60-minute

guided tour before the museum opens (Tues, Thurs, Sat at 9 a.m. $50 nonmembers; limited to 10 people). Guided Highlights Tour, a 60-minute guided tour of key artifacts and stories (daily at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.; price of admission plus $12; limited to 15 people). Book online or at the museum. General admission tickets to the Museum can be purchased online and are $19 for adults; $17 for seniors, students, and active or retired military; and $12 for children ages 6 and up. Children ages 5 and under are free. All tickets are valid for two consecutive days. Group tickets for parties of 15 or more are currently available for a discounted price by calling 267.858.3308.

Faith Lutheran Preschool celebrates Dr. Seuss' birthday

The children at Faith Nursery School, on Jackson Avenue, Syosset, enjoyed celebrating Dr Seuss's birthday on March 2 by wearing some special hats, enjoying some special snacks, and listening to some very special readers.

The bunny class loved wearing the hats they made.

Miss Linda surprised everyone by reading The Foot Book.

Miss Maryann took some time off from music to read Cat In the Hat.

These special cheese sticks were very yummy!

Pastor Krahn had everyone's attention while he read his favorite Dr Seuss book.

North Shore Synagogue celebrated the joyous holiday of Purim in Disney style this year. Colorful costumes and inventive lyrics filled North Shore Synagogue’s sanctuary on a Sunday morning at the annual Purim shpiel, a play telling the story of the rescue of the Jews by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai from the evil Haman, advisor to King Ahashverosh, king of Persia. After weeks of hard work rehearsing, our Religious School students dressed as Disney characters told the story through popular tunes like “Be

Our Guest” from Disney movies. The scenery in the sanctuary was beautifully decorated by the temple’s Youth Group members. Thanks to the hard work of our Religious School students, Rabbi Jaimee Shalhevet, Rabbi Rachel Maimin, Cantor Kyle Cotler, Religious School Principal Jacquelynn Golub, and Nursery School Director Elizabeth Kessler, the show was a huge hit! Following the shpiel, it was time for the spectacular annual Purim Carnival. Children and adults alike enjoyed hours of games and activities set up through-

out the temple. Kids from Nursery School, Religious School and the community enjoyed face painting, jumping in bounce houses and playing games of skill, while snacking on cotton candy and popcorn. Our teachers, parents and J.tel teens staffed the activities to make sure everyone had fun. The event continued into the early afternoon when raffles were drawn for dozens of gift

North Shore Synagogue brings Disney to Purim

baskets and prizes. Thanks to the hours of hard work by our staff, clergy and parents, North Shore Synagogue had another fun and exciting carnival day! North Shore Synagogue is a Reform Jewish Congregation and member of the Union for Reform Judaism. For more information, go to www.northshoresynagogue.org and facebook.com/ northshoresynagogue.

Thanks to the great acting and singing, the Purim shpiel was a big hit!

Kids and parents from Nursery School age and up enjoyed games, food, crafts and bounce houses.

Parents from our Youth Learning and Engagement Committee worked tirelessly to make the day a success.

Religious School Principal Jacquelynn Golub (left), Rabbi Jaimee Shalhevet (center) and Rabbi Rachel Maimin got in the Purim spirit with, of course, Disney costumes.

Our next story... you!

Scout and Molly’s develops bonds in Woodbury

From page 3

For Women in Business, Chamber President Leads the Way

Aside from Scout and Molly’s founder, another inspiration Wong-Leipzig has drawn from as a business leader is none other than Syosset-based attorney Charo Ezdrin -- the energizing, welcoming president of the Syosset-Woodbury Chamber of Commerce since spring 2017 whose law firm, Ezdrin & Woods P.C., is on Jackson Avenue downtown. “Last year when I opened the store I wanted to join the chamber. Once Charo became the chamber president, she changed how it operated and presented feedback from local Syosset and Woodbury businesses. (Chamber director and businessman) Alan Goldberg reached out to me about the membership. We are so fortunate as Charo has such a great, dynamic personality and she draws everybody in. It is something to really aspire to. Charo is such a leading woman in business and a businesswoman in power -- this is empowering to see with the recent national movement of #MeToo and social policy issues, all the campaigns happening. It speaks vol-

umes to have her lead the business community and she really is an asset for the entire community,” Wong-Leipzig told the Advance and News Journal in an interview last week. The Syosset-Woodbury Chamber continues building momentum just as spring arrived, as its March general meeting was set to be held on Wednesday, March 28th at Island Signs and Graphics on Robbins Lane. Ezdrin frequently connects with chamber members and the greater business community, as she sent a thank-you to participants after the recent networking event at the Hurricane Grill & Wings at Jericho Turnpike, held March 6th: “It is so exciting to watch the growth we have achieved in this last year and the dedication that the chamber’s Board of Directors, members and administrators have shown. I would like to thank Maureen Nickel for organizing and planning the fabulous event March 6. Also, thank you Bob Engel, owner of Hurricane Grill and chamber member, for providing such a great and delicious venue at a extremely generous cost to the chamber….Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino,

Town Councilman Louis Imbroto and the Honorable Rhonda Fischer, your constant support for the chamber is very much appreciated as well as the time you take from your busy schedules to support us, a huge ‘Thank You!’ And Councilman Thomas Hand, who was there in spirit - Thank you too!” Ezdrin wrote. Interested local businesses in Syosset, Woodbury, Jericho and nearby have the opportunity to host one of the upcoming general meetings and celebrate with a grand opening or ribbon-cutting event. Call Laurie Ann Ellul at 516-307-1330 or email at info@syossetchamber.com for more information. Drawing inspiration from its namesake and pet-friendly foundation, Scout and Molly’s of Woodbury has recently partnered with North Shore Animal League to host an adoption event this year. Florence Wong-Leipzig loves animals and she wants to give back to the community through this and other endeavors. She is actively seeking other charitable opportunities where businesses can give back to the community they are in. “Every time we host an event in-store

Syosset man sentenced From page 1 dants struck two vehicles – a BMW and a Jeep – with bricks. The BMW was the first car that was hit and was being driven by a 21-yearold man with his girlfriend who were traveling northbound on the Meadowbrook to go out to dinner. Without warning, a paving brick smashed through the windshield, snapping off the rear-view mirror and shattering glass all over

the vehicle. The brick just missed the driver’s head but the shattered glass permanently damaged the left eye of the 23-year old female passenger in the vehicle and lacerated her lip. The victim has a permanent scar on her cornea, cannot drive at night, and suffers from blurry vision in that eye. The driver of the BMW also suffered a laceration to his shoulder and shoulder pain from where the brick struck him.

In the second incident, a 23-year-old woman was driving a Jeep to her sister’s home when it was struck on the roof and side of the car, narrowly missing the windshield. The Jeep sustained approximately $5,000 in damages. New York State Police arrested the defendants on January 1, 2016, following an investigation.

and/or partner with another company we always provide a percentage of sales back to that company,” Wong-Leipzig said On April 9th, to celebrate Scout and Molly’s first year she plans to have Town of Oyster Bay officials plus the chamber on-hand with its newfound “electric energy. Wong-Leipzig lives in Garden City but the store in Woodbury Village and the business circles around it have added a sense of community into her life. When she opened a year ago, she knew no one in Woodbury. That has changed 180 degrees in 12 months. “It is a great honor for the chamber to recognize us and to be part of Syosset and Woodbury. We are happy to introduce ourselves to the community and the reach of the chamber has been very helpful. More people come in and drop by, and they know the location well. It is really a focus on awareness and what our business story is about. I have met many new people and made friends, a lot of nice people here just call and offer help. It is so good to be involved in the community where my business is located, and this is all about giving back.
